High temps in my 240. 200 1986

Your Majesty,

I echo the recommendation to just take that radiator out and give it a good washing. I did this not long ago on my '86 245 for the first time because it too seemed to be a little more inclined to heat up. You would not believe the amount of sand, mud and crap that I washed out of the fins with nothing more than a garden hose! It didn't look all that dirty to me when it came out but holy cow was it carrying some accumulated stuff. I'm sure that inhibited heat exchange. I've had no problems since. It was that simple.

Keep cool,

John M.
